I am running ondemand on RHEL 9 - both compute and web nodes are the same and the user’s home has been moved to /project/home  
I am getting issues with PUN not being able to manipulate the symlink for app development  
Here is the .te (uploaded as txt) and error

This is now a blocking issue for me as otherwise I have to disable SElinux

Hi sorry for the delay. The selinux module is mostly community driven in that we get a lot of patches from the community such as this.

We can submit your patch shortly.
